Inspiration Monday: Fluffy Bunnies

  By

This week in InMon City: Studies show that four out of five InMonsters will pick the darkest prompt. What the Dickens? Maybe I should throw a cuddly one in there this week and see what happens.

Research suggests that if you mow your neighbor’s lawn out of the goodness of your heart and she makes you fudge out of gratitude, you should answer your door when she comes knocking on it. Seriously. There is fudge on the other side of the door. Why yu no open it?

And now for our top stories.

The Rules

There are none. Read the prompts, get inspired, write something. No word count minimum or maximum. You don’t have to include the exact prompt in your piece, and you can interpret the prompt(s) any way you like.

OR

No really; I need rules!

Okay; write 200-500 words on the prompt of your choice. You may either use the prompt as the title of your piece or work it into the body of your piece. You must complete it before 6 pm CST on the Monday following this post.

Inspiration Monday: Knitting Nooses

  By

This week in InMon world: A title prompt inspired by Tale of Two Cities; Screwtape Letters read by Monty Python’s John Cleese; comments now open on ToWanderLost’s blog; and I still can’t find my Tolstoy.

Also, doubt over the plural of noose. Nooses? Nice? Niece?

Inspiration Monday: Smells Like Disaster

  By

The beginning of the third in a string of long weeks. My thoughts are sparks I cannot fathom into conflagrations. No…my thoughts are classes I cannot fathom into concentrations. No, that’s not it…my thoughts are parishioners I cannot fathom into congregations?
